Pregnancy courses and labour & delivery workshops
Everything in one spot
Of course, we will discuss everything about the birth during the consultation hours. But if you need more enlightenment, you can contact Annette. She has been teaching pregnancy courses under the name B-Prepared for many years. Her motto? A pregnancy course without nonsense.
Pregnancy courses
Together with other pregnant women who are about as far along as you are. And it’s a lot of fun!
You start participating in the group when you are between 22 and 26 weeks pregnant.
Classes are every Monday evening at the practice in Weesp.
A class always consists of a sports session (outdoors if the weather is good), a practical/theoretical session with lots of information and useful tips, and a relaxation/yoga session.
The course consists of 7 lessons, 1 partner lesson in which your partner will learn many tips tricks and a return afternoon when everyone had childbirth.
The entire course (of 9 lessons total) costs €145.
Do you want to take in all the knowledge but are not eager to do it in a group?
For the private lesson, Annette will come to your home (or if you prefer to meet at the practice, that’s also possible). In 1 or 2 sessions (the choice is yours), you will learn everything you need to know to give birth, including plenty of tips and tricks for your partner.
A one-hour session costs €85.
You’ve already given birth before. But how to do it again? Or is your partner in need of tips and tricks?
The refresher course will cover everything again. There may be a focus on where you got lost last time. Together with Annette you decide what your refresher course should be based on.
The refresher course costs €85 per session.
Everything you need to know about giving birth in the Netherlands. This prenatal course is completely in English and will take place at your house or at our practice. Of course we can focus on the parts you fear most.
You can find more information here or you can send Annette an e-mail if you want to sign up.
Childbirth workshop
During this one-day workshop you and your partner will learn all about giving birth.
The workshop will be given at the practice in Weesp and lasts from approx. 10.00h – 15.00h.
You will learn all about childbirth, what your partner can do for you and a lot of tips and tricks. You will also be taught relaxation and breathing exercises. You will also learn the Rebozo massage, which we will also teach your partner so you can work with it together.
The workshop costs €225 per couple, including lunch and goodie bag.
Rebozo - course
A Rebozo massage is given with one or more cloths.
In this course, Annette will come to your home (or to the practice) and teach your partner how to massage you with the Rebozo cloth. It can be supportive during pregnancy, as well as during labor.
The Rebozo workshop costs €125, which includes rental of the Rebozo cloth.
Breastfeeding course
All our midwives and maternity nurses can guide you in breastfeeding. Research shows that mothers who are well-informed about breastfeeding during pregnancy appear to be better at breastfeeding later. Therefore, we work with a lactation consultant who can completely prepare you for breastfeeding.
She gives the breastfeeding course with great regularity at our practice.
The course costs €35 and lasts about 2 hours.
